Album DescriptionSoul straight from the heart of Memphis - in a star-studded, fully-packed live concert tribute to the legendary Stax record label that helped invent and foster the great soul sounds of the 1960?s and ?70?s. This exciting 2003 event shows that the great exponents of soul have lost none of their vigor, intensity, and musicality - from Eddie Floyd who reprises his 1966 hit ?Knock On Wood,? to Isaac Hayes, who conducts the timeless early-?70?s ?Theme from ?Shaft,? the peak years of Memphis soul are fully represented. Al Green offers two great performances, Jean Knight sings ?Mr. Big Stuff,? Solomon Burke pays homage to the great soul star Otis Redding, Percy Sledge sings ?When a Man Loves a Woman,? Mavis Staples reveals soul?s gospel roots -- and session stalwarts from the original Booker T.& the MG?s keep the whole thing rocking. An unforgettable evening.
